Summary: Great cookbook for kids!
Review: Before buying this book, my 3-year-old daughter had pretty much refused any kind of vegetable. She just didn't want to put anything remotely vegetable-like in her mouth. She got so excited when she saw the Salad Bar recipe. We immediately set to work and lo and behold...she loves it! Now when I ask her what she wants for dinner, her reply is almost always, "Salad Bar!"
Whoo hoo! Thanks Mollie Katzen and Ann L. Henderson! You've performed a miracle.

Summary: pretend soup
Review: Great book for pre-schoolers! Our grandson has already enjoyed making popovers and green spaghetti!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a MUST for picky eaters
Review: I am a mother of a 4 year old picky eater. My son would not touch any vegetables. Since purchasing the Pretend Soup, my son thinks it is a treat to read the cookbook at bedtime and decide what he wants to try the next day. The hind and seek muffins are his favorite. I am looking into buying the first book. Wonderful book, with GREAT pictures.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Get your kid cooking!
Review: My daughter is 2, and so a bit young for the book. However, she is starting to follow the 'recipies' in the book. First of all, it's good food that everyone in the family will eat.
What's important to me is that my daughter loves to follow the pictures. She can't read (of course!) - but she can follow along. She loves to run out of the kitchen yelling "Daddy! I'm cookin'!" That sense of pride and accomplishment, and the start of a life long skill are what I like the best!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Really cute... recipies are fun and yummy
Review: My daughter is only 3, but she participates a lot in these recipies. Lots of fun.
The names they give the foods and the pictures also make children more willing to eat the food. If you have a picky eater he/she will surely eat the creations from this book.

I appreciate that they didnt use a lot of fancy ingreadiants or get too rediculous with cutting things into shapes etc. like many kid's recipie books

The hide-and-seek muffins are awsome! they taste like shortcake w/ the strawberry baked right in!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Terrific Book!
Review: My six-year-old daughter is looking at her new cookbook as I write this and her response is, "This is cool!" She likes the pictures and that I can help HER cook rather than she helping me. Our family has all of Mollie Katzen's cookbooks, and this children's book is beautifully illustrated and well conceived. As a parent educator, Pretend Soup is going on my recommended reading list.

Summary: "Oh, SALT!"
Review: This was my daughters response when she found the Zucchini moons recipe. She never ate them before, but now she knows tht salt is the secret! This book has a variety of recipes that kids (and adults) will enjoy...from Bagel faces to popovers to chocolate banana shakes...in easy to follow, kid and adult friendly format.
The recipes are vegetarian with an emphasis on health, they are not, however, vegan friendly.

Oh, and a tip on the oatmeal recipe...it's ready to eat sooner if you drop a frozen cube of milk in.

Summary: Cute, but could be better
Review: We cook a lot in my house, yet somehow my son was not being included. Now he is. I bought this book to inspire me to get my son involved and it really worked. We cook from it together and he has used it with friends and homemade play-dough. Love, love, love this book.
